Ray Bryant Trio

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Making his impressive full-length debut as a leader, the highly versatile pianist leads an exceptional, fiercely tight trio featuring Jo Jones and Ike Isaacs. The session highlights his unusually strong, gospel-steeped left-hand technique and deeply lyrical, highly infectious original compositions. The incredibly swinging, impeccably tasteful recording established him as a highly respected, deeply foundational voice bridging traditional blues feeling with modern bebop complexity.
